When the BCHS Orchestra began, only 11 string students were enrolled in the program. With dedicated leadership and instruction, the orchestra program has grown ten-fold over the years. BCHS now offers two classes in orchestral instruction, offering more individualized attention at each level. String Orchestra offers entry-level musicians the opportunity to learn skills necessary to play more challenging pieces, while Chamber Orchestra allows advanced musicians to continue to be challenged with the music they need to excel. Students receive specialized instruction from professional orchestral musicians who perform with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Bach Ensemble, operate as some of the most sought after free-lance musicians in the Denver area and are former college professors.
The BCHS orchestra attends the CHSAA (Colorado High School Activities Association) Festival and ASTA (American String Teachers Association) Festivals annually. The BCHS Orchestras consistently receive Superior and Excellent ratings at festivals.
